✦ Synopsis

A conceptually lucid approach to practical controller design is presented for Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. Algebraic manipulations are used to parameterize reference models which can be matched by a controlled plant with total stability. Novel techniques allow unprecedented flexibility in rejerence model selection. Controller synthesis is performed in the,frequency domain. The plant models may be stable or unstable, possess nonminimum-phase zeros and need not have the same number of' outputs as inputs. E,xamples are provided at each step of the theoretical development in order to illustrate the key concepts. Part I deals with stable plants and Part II extends the design approach to plants which may be open-loop unstable
